Do BDs even have struts in the rear?? I thought they had shocks. If they have shocks in the rear then no u can't

Yes you could use BG5 springs on a BD.

Yeah, as stated before, they will fit. Ran some JDM BG5 struts in my sedan before.

The only difference might be the spring rate, but if so, it's not that far off...

The only second gen parts that different from BK/BG and BD would be the parts like back seats and hatch or trunk and bumpers. Or rear glass..

For future reference any wagon/sedan of the same gen is only going to have very minor differences in suspension, usually based on the weight distribution of the car. BD/BG/BK struts, spring, etc are all compatible with each other, although the wagon struts & springs (rear only) are different part numbers. I would imagine the wagons are a little stiffer for extra weight in the rear.
